Why do scientist sometimes disagree about the value of certain types of evidence?
You may want to be more specific about your question. Some scientists trust some methods more than others, based on how much they trust the experimental method, or the precision and accuracy of the instruments/materials they use, or sometimes just based on their familiarity with said subfield. For example, a lot of scientists may discount Astronomy and astrophysics because the fields are routinely associated with high accepted errors (up to 30% for some calcuations). Typically, the softer sciences, like geology, Psychology, etc... have less quantitative results with a less firm basis. It is not uncommon for scientists to disagree with the meaning of a result that might have several likely causes. This is a part of science and is usually helpful. Before someone publishes something, experts in that field will scrutinize the work and make sure their evidence holds up and is reproducable, where available. Like I said, you should be more specific so more specific examples can be given in the explanation.

Science is always changing Which things in science are facts Which things are theories Which ones change with new research and time and which ones never change?
Science is all about exploring ideas, formulating hypotheses, and testing them repeatedly. Scientists always try to duplicate their experiments or to collaborate with other scientists working on the same problem. If a lot of scientists produce the same results over and over again, then the hypothesis becomes a working theory. It's not unusual for scientists to disagree on theories - even on how data is interpreted. The only things that don't change, the things that are facts, are the data and observations collected through the scientific method.If a theory stands the test of time, it becomes a paradigm. Society also has an influence on scientific theories and paradigms. Sometimes a particular theory is widely accepted among scientists but not among certain groups in society. The resistance to change is strong in human culture, and it can take hundreds of years for a scientific theory or paradigm to be accepted by societies.
